A few listserv members might be interested in a new book called Broke: How Debt Bankrupts the Middle Class (available on Amazon at http://amzn.to/yslcVQ among other places). The Amazon page has a table of contents and more information.
The book editor is Katie Porter, a law professor at UC-Irvine and Bankr-L list member. The chapters are from academics in economics, sociology, psychology, political science, and law (including two from me). For academics on the list, Katie Porter and Debb Thorne have syllabi that use the book for classes in law and sociology, respectively.
